It’s so nice to know that someone still plays this game.
I first saw it in a computer club (it was in 1998, if I remember correctly), and I immediately paid attention to it. I bought a magazine with a walkthrough. But I was only destined to play M&M6 five years later, when I bought a computer. I bought the "Collector's Edition" about a year before buying the PC (I didn't know exactly when I would buy a computer, but I knew for sure that I would buy one someday and definitely play it). M&M 6-7 were the first games I installed on my newly acquired PC… I remember the first month as if in a daze… I spent whole days playing M&M6, slept very little, and ate almost nothing… For me, there simply was no other world except Enroth. I lived in it… I lived it…

Now, Might and Magic VI is a classic RPG that holds a worthy place among the hits of this genre. The M&M series is not only an original role-playing system… It is a world in which you want to live.

P.S.: If anyone is interested in this game, is already playing it, or has played it before… In general, for everyone who needs the game itself, advice on a walkthrough, or if someone just wants to talk, reminisce about the past – I am always happy to chat, write to me, and I will help in any way I can.

I just can't bring myself to play it. It feels strange after Might and Magic 7, 8, and 9. There's no running, you just slowly crawl around :( And it's also strange that no one wants to talk to you unless you pay them :(

There is running; just hold down the Shift key. :)
If peasants ask you for money to talk, it means you have a low reputation.

How can I learn the basics of light and dark magic? I joined a guild. Spells are being sold. But the mage and cleric haven't gained those magic skills. And they can't read the books with those spells.

I just can't bring myself to play it; it feels strange after Might and Magic 7, 8, and 9. There's no running; you just move slowly, and it's also unusual that no one wants to talk to you unless you pay them.

Hold down Shift and Ctrl to run!)))
It's true that turning is a bit clunky.)))

Sorry, I got it wrong – just Shift is enough!)))

Yeah... I still remember... the first thing I did was get stables, horseshoes, and a flying spell for the mage, and then I went off to find obelisks and gain experience. Flying at level 1 is fun, but it's not quite enough to handle the obelisks of Dragon's End and similar locations. What did I do next? Being a millionaire, but not yet having gained experience from the Lord of Fire, I ran around in the circus... and then to the desert to trade souvenirs with Abdullah. And my team was dressed in the latest fashion... it was so shiny. Then all that was left was to fully level up the classes at level 1, and then I went to the Lord for experience. After that... it was just pure carnage. You can definitely beat the game at level 40+ without any problems, but when you're at level 195, it's a BLAST :D

Shift - for running
To initiate a conversation, you need to increase your reputation.

I also couldn't get into it, even after playing the 7th and 8th parts several times. The difference is noticeable, not only because of the graphics and interface, but also because of the difficulty. It's been sitting there for a year, almost finished, with just a couple of quests left, but after TOMB OF VARN, I'm afraid of this game :O

The first game in the series that I recently started playing (I watched the eighth and ninth on YouTube – they were terrible). It's amazing! I think I especially liked it because I'm a fan of Wizardry 8; I've been looking for something similar for a long time. Right now, I'm looting the treasures I found in the Temple of Baa.

The sixth installment is the best in the series...
And the eighth, in my opinion, is still "so-so" - especially if you use the hero editor and create a LEVEL ONE team (so you can distribute skill points YOURSELF). But the ninth installment is COMPLETE TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the skill distribution in the eighth game is quite normal; it's not always a walk in the park. And even then, heroes at level 50 join some random team, and they also get to choose skills that suit them – that would be outright cheating.

It also makes it easy to choose convenient skills for them – it's almost cheating.

I meant not to choose skills for them, but to create a FIRST-LEVEL team from the very beginning and use it to complete the game. Joining only those characters temporarily, without whom it is impossible to complete the quests (for example, a troll) :)

Well, that's a matter of taste. Those who like to immediately rush into battle will enjoy all the other Might & Magic games. But those who want a single hero and to play solo or choose a party of characters with their own stories, rather than nameless characters, will appreciate the eighth installment.

That's right! :) "There's no accounting for taste."

A problem occurred:

In the "Thieves' Guild" dungeon, the doors with puzzles in the secret room (the one where the "Lesser Djinn" is located) do not open, even though the answers to the puzzles are supposedly correct (arrow, fish, darkness, time). I tried typing them in English, in small font, in capital letters, and just with a capital letter... :confused:

Oh, it's fixed. The problem was resolved by restarting the game. :)

Whew... I finally reached the Oracle... :smile13: :rolleyes:
